JBL Synthesis System, a dream come true

 I settled on mounting the MP-110 on the Audio Technica AT-LP1240, and its VTA is as versatile as they come. On the AT-LP1240, it’s at approximately 85% of its peak height. This took a ton of trial and error and was a complete pain, as you would expect. Finally, this cart can be a bit edgy on the treble, especially with female artists, but I think it’s more closely associated with a proper VTA setting than anything else

I’ve been using this cartridge for almost two months now and I can happily report that this is a great cartridge, especially considering its cost. I have broken it in using a combination of three different turntables, three different phono preamps, and three different integrated amps.  This is the gear I’ve used:  Turntables: Audio Technica AT-LP1240 U-Turn Orbit Teac TN-550  Phono Preamps: Parks Audio Budgie Tube Phono Preamp U-Turn Pluto Phono Preamp Cambridge CP2 Phono Preamp  Integrated Amps: Outlaw Audio RR2150 NAD c352 Kenwood KA-7300  In addition, these are the cartridges I own and used for comparison: Ortofon 2M Bronze ($440) Ortofon 2M Red ($100) Grado Prestige Gold ($260) Audio Technica AT95E ($45) Audio Technica AT440MLb ($200)  And yes, I have tried every single combination of the components – and yes, it took forever (months). Overall, I would consider the Nagaoka MP-110 my second favorite cartridge of the six I own regardless of price – second only to the Ortofon Bronze, which costs $300 more

 The Nagaoka produces a very pleasant sound, and for every genre of music I threw at it. In addition, it handles surface noise as well as a cartridge possibly can, in my opinion. The MP-110 tends to handle older records and/or poor vinyl pressings very well. It’s also a solid tracker

While not perfect, a very good cartridge at a fantastic price -- definitely recommended

 There is such a spectrum of price points, that I thought going for lower of the middle of the pack would yield good results, and I am pleased so far. Although I have had great luck with the Grado Blacks I have used in the past and was considering getiing a Grado Green or Blue, this cartridge was a decent purchase for the price, and really seems to be a good value. I'm sure there is more breaking-in to do, but right away I was happy with the tracking, clarity, and stereo separation. I'm just listing to records, not back queuing or scratching, so this seems like a decent choice for quality while being able to save some $$ to buy more records :)

Great Investment For The Price

The Nagaoka is a mellow sounding cartridge with a forward, slightly harsh, midrange, significant midbass hump (but rolled-off deep bass), and slightly harsh highs. The sound is definitely not flat, and the exaggeration of certain frequency while muting of others makes it sound quite colored. However, at low volume levels, is more listenable than other, more accurate $100 cartridges such as the Shure M97, or the 2Mred. If you like accurate sound, this is not it

 Mating it with the correct phono stage is important. Some phono stages, like the Emotiva, also have a slightly forward midrange and would not mate with the Nagaoka. However, more restrained phono stages, such as Pro-Jects or Schiit Mani would be a good match.

r/turntables

 And you know, Luca, I totally agree. You nailed it. The round, less precise sound of belt drive turntables may tame the 2M. Well, as promised

 Well, I remember a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me what my opinion of this cartridge was. And after I revealed him my findings, he said, and I quote here, probably better suited for belt drive turntables. And you know, Luca, I totally agree. You nailed it

 Hello everyone, this is Francisco from Hi-Fi Squarepants. Well as promised, here I go with my final thoughts on the 2M LVB250. On the one hand, the sense of resolution and detail this little guy delivers is just amazing. It tracks like a train, I have not a single complaint about that

Ortofon 2m Black LVB 250 Review - IGD test - Christopher Cross - Vinyl

 Hello everyone, this is Francisco from Hi-Fi Squarepants.

 Well as promised, here I go with my final thoughts on the 2M LVB250.

 On the one hand, the sense of resolution and detail this little guy delivers is just amazing.

 It tracks like a train, I have not a single complaint about that.

 By the way, I'll make an inner groove distortion test at the end of this video, so don't quit yet, ok?

 And yeah, thanks to the Boron cantilever and the new suspension, it seems that the music

 comes out from a blacker background and the bass seems to get a bit more presence.

 So yeah, it's definitely an upgrade from the regular 2M black stylus, but it's not a night and day difference.

 On the other hand, you can still perceive the main feature of the 2M sound, whatever you want to call it.

 Harshness, coldness, brightness, I'm not good at describing sounds, but you know what I mean.

 It's not a warm sounding cartridge and it tends to the analytical type of sound.

 It may be a very good cartridge, but having other wonderful options in this price range, including MC cards,

 Well, I remember a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me what my opinion of this cartridge was.

 And after I revealed him my findings, he said, and I quote here, probably better suited for belt drive turntables.

 inevitable pops etc.. seem to be pushed to the back, separation of instruments vastly improved as well as more pronounced and defined sound stage. With one preamp, amp combination it was a bit bright

 of course it should be.. 7X the price. Much clearer top to bottom, bass was particularly boosted

 seem to be pushed to the back, separation of instruments vastly improved as well as more pronounced and defined sound stage. With one preamp, amp combination it was a bit bright..

I can't imagine how much better a high end MC pick up would be

I expected a subtle improvement that I would have to listen for going from the blue to the black... I was WRONG! I feel like I had been listening to AM radio for years and just discovered FM Stereo! It is a huge improvement

Stunning! Bigger improvement than I ever imagined.

5i tone arm, an older Riga P5 with the RB700 tone arm and the current Riga P10 with the RB3000 tone arm. All these turntables and tone arms I've mentioned here are on the high side of low mass or just in the beginning ranges of medium-mass tone arm weight ranging from 10 to 12 grams. As shown in the figure on the Artifon website these tone arm 2M Black combinations work quite well. For this video my opinions on the 2M Black sound is mostly based on when used with the Pioneer PLX1000 and this cartridge has spent significant amount of time on this table for about four years now

 My love for this cartridge goes back to over a decade when I bought this new back in 2009 moving magnet. At the time this was Artifon's flagship moving magnet cartridge. Now we have the 2M Black LVB250 that is the top the line for Artifon's moving magnet lineup. So this video is about the standard 2M Black not the Ludwig-Bahn Beethoven edition of the 2M Black

 The realism of Hasinta's vocals, fullness of the horns, the wholeness and the meatiness of the piano is certain to impress you. And then there is this timing and delivery of drumming and the percussion sounds. Snares are snappy and textured and the cymbal taps are airy and very well detailed, not bright at all. Just open sounding and effortlessly detailed reproduction

 Note though that the Riga P10 brought out the best in the 2M Black but most people wouldn't install a $700 cart on a $6300 turntable. Having said all that I must let you know that a lot of care is required to align this cartridge to ensure you get it to sound good and that means nearly perfect overhang, vertical tracking angle and azimuth. Tools like the Dr. Fikert protractor and the Hi-Fi news test record and a good head shell with elongated slots will help you get this cartridge dialed in just right and clean records will definitely help

Ortofon 2M black: Best moving magnet phono cartridge?

 Hello guys, welcome back. I have been wanting to do this video on my Artifon

 2M Black moving magnet cartridge for a long time now. My love for this cartridge

 goes back to over a decade when I bought this new back in 2009 moving magnet. At

 the time this was Artifon's flagship moving magnet cartridge. Now we have the

 2M Black LVB250 that is the top the line for Artifon's moving magnet lineup. So

 this video is about the standard 2M Black not the Ludwig-Bahn Beethoven

 edition of the 2M Black. So the 2M Black standard sells for $6.95 USD. Stylus type

 on this is a Nude Shibata. Output is 5 millivolts. Tracking range is anywhere

 between 1.4 and 1.7. Compliance is in the medium-high range of 22

 millinewtons. So compatibility is with low to medium-mass tone arms. Over the

 years I've enjoyed this cartridge on different tables and tone arms like the

 Technics SL1200, the Pioneer PLX1000, the VPI Classic with the JMW 10.5i tone

 arm, an older Riga P5 with the RB700 tone arm and the current Riga P10 with

Nagaoka MP-110 vs Ortofon 2M Black
